New YORK, September 27.-There was
considerable betting on the results OF the
race between tho American yacht Volun.
t.er and the Scotch yacht Thistle to-day.
This was the first OF the three races be-.
tween them for the possession OF the Amer
cans cup. The betting was governed by
patriotism generally. the odds ranging from
lot down to 3 to in favor OF the VOL
unteer. The official signal to get ready was
fred at 1929, and ten minutes later the
Thistle crossed the line, closely followed by
the Volunteer.
TIE RACE.
Tho official time OF the Thistle's crossing
The line was 1895 and the Volunteer 1896.
The Thistle at once tackled to starboard,
heading for the Long Island shore. The
result was that she lost her wind entirely,
while the Yankee held the light air. At
1914 the Thistle seemed motionless. A
few minutes later she began to move slowly.
The Volunteer had in the meantime cap
tnred a lead OF perhaps three cable lengths.
The Yankee keeled along gracefully. making
good time and increasing her lead. As the
Volunteer approached Fort Wadsworth
she
WAS GOING VERY FAST.
The Thistle had good full but her sails
somehow failed to draw like the Volun-
tesr's. Hall an hour after passing Fort
Wadsworth the Volunteer had apparently
Increased her lead to at least two miles, but
when another half hour elapsed the Thistle
was footing it along in q way that promised
q close finish. But the Thistle seemed
fated to misfortune, and when the Volun.
teer headed for Sandy Hook lighthouse,
the Scotch yacht was again two miles IN the
rear As the Volunteer approached the
point OF the Hook she was eighteen minutes
ahead. At $50 p. m. the yachts ap,
preached Fort Wadsworth, the wind
astern blowing fifteen miles an honr. At
4:82 D. m. the Volunteer crossed the line,

and agreeable. Although q member of all
the clubs he seldom frequents them. His inflex-
ible stubborlness in maintaining American
fishing and trading rights has not alienated
the people among whom he lives; on the con-
trary, he has won respect for his country and

Mr.. Phelan is of Irish extraction, but was
born in st. Louis and spent most of his life
there. He was eight years in the state senate
and one term in the lower house, and twice
he framed q municipal charter for st.
Louis. He tells that he was 4S years old be-
fore he ever took days vacation. 1t is be-
lieved that he will be sent abroad as soon as
the fishery troubles are over. This story is
told of Mr. Phelan by an eastern paper:
When Mr.. Foster, the Canadian minister of
marine, arrived in Halifax last week be was in
terviewed the subject of the threatened seizure
of the French and Argonaut. He declared posi-
lively, reiterated the statement and confirmed
the assertion that he would take those vessels
wherever and whenever he found them on the
high seas.
A reporter interviewed the consul general re-
garding the decision of the minister. Without
moments delay or hesitation the American repre-
sentative sought out Mr.. Foster, put to him the
question, and receiving an answer that left no
doubt of the minister's position, he drew himself
up, and, pointing to an Americas man of war in
the harbor, said: Touch one of those vessels and
that ship will tow the capturing cruiser into an
American port in twenty-four hours"
We can say positively that the minister has
countermanded his instructions,
